I say that the story was structured around Eve. So if I operate on that
assumption then what do we have? Eve is the mother of us all so she could
not have come from a woman and therefore came from a man instead. Adam came
from the dust of the ground? The garden came from the dust of the ground
and is an extension of what is Adam who built and tended the garden. Eve
brought sin into the world by rebelling against God? Well, maybe Adam is
the one who invented God because why would Eve rebel against something she
invented herself.
